Timberline Resources SR 6th Amendment Special Review

Special Review to amend the original Special Review approval (file # 02-Z1432) to allow access to and from the site from Overland Trail rather than Hwy 287 as approved.  This will add 300 trucks on Overland Trail up to the bypass every day.  Please attend and share your concerns with the planning commission.  LAPAC recommended they stay with access onto Hwy 287 as approved.  The applicants said it’s difficult to obtain access from CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation).

Citizens sited the following concerns;

  • More fatalities on the Hwy 287 bypass
  • Unsafe for children who walk on Overland Trail
  • Unsafe for busses transporting children who currently use the bypass and Overland Trail
  • Unsafe for all people who ride bikes on Overland Trail
  • The bypass is already difficult to cross
  • Gravel falling off the trucks will be hazardous to other vehicles
